Good news! The library has a brand new subscription to the New York Times digital edition. This is the web version of the New York Times, rather than a database version. It includes full access to all articles dating back to 1851 right from a mobile device or a computer. You can register to have free, personal accessthrough this new subscription. Here are the steps:

Using a student.elgin.edu or elgin.edu email account, create a personal account for full access to NYT from 1851-present.

Account registration works best in a Chrome browser.

You only need to register at this link once. After that, you can go directly to nytimes.com and login with your personal account.

Access to the New York Times in text form for student research is still available through the library’s newspaper databases.

HeinOnline is a new database that includes 2,300 full text journals, comprehensive coverage of government documents, all United States treaties, constitutions from every country in the world, and several specialized collections.

In addition to the vast law collection, there is a specialized database called Slavery In America and the World: History, Culture, and Law. This collection brings together a multitude of essential legal materials on slavery in the United States and the English-speaking world, including statutes, court cases, and other primary and secondary documents.

This new database collection covers many subject areas, including law, government, history, and sociology. To access HeinOnline, go to the Article Databases list and choose H, or find it on the Subject listing Government & Law.

This new resource allows you to use interactive models and activities to learn about human anatomy. Tour through systems, search by region of the body, or study the 3D printable models. You can also do a search or browse through the activities available to help with your learning needs.

The library has created a new Research Guide dedicated to our Anatomical Models collection (affectionately known as “bone boxes.”) The guide makes it easy to browse what models we have in the collection by type of system and provides images to help you browse the collection before you come in to use the models. We have also linked this guide to the medical and health research guides in our Research Guide collection.
